Default Play and hear instruments in record enable

Hey Guys,

I'm not that proficient in Pro-Tools (LE 6.9 BTW), so I would appreciate your assistance with a lil' something I'm sure is quite simple:

I want to be able to play along previously recorded tracks without necessarily recording. Right now if I hit play while some tracks are record enabled, the previously recorded tracks (not enabled) play, but no sound comes out of the enabled ones. Basically this would be for rehearsing purposes.

THX

Check/change your record monitoring mode. (alt+k)

From Chapter 11 of the reference guide:
Quote:
Auto Input Monitoring
In Auto Input mode, when session playback is
stopped, Pro Tools monitors audio input. When
playback is started for a punch-in, Pro Tools
monitors existing track material up until the
punch point. While punched in, the input signal
is monitored. On punch-out, monitoring
switches back to the existing track material. This
is similar to the auto-switching logic found on
digital and analog multitrack tape machines.
Pro Tools TDM systems include TrackInput
controls for setting the monitoring mode of
individual tracks. See “Selecting Record
Monitor Modes with TrackInput” on
page 149.
When using Auto Input, the switch back to
monitoring track material on punch-out is
not instantaneous.

Input Only Monitoring
In Input Only mode, when a track is record enabled,
Pro Tools monitors audio input only, regardless
of any punch-in/out selection.
When Input Only monitoring is enabled, the
Green LED next to the Transport window appear
green.

To select a record monitoring mode in Pro Tools
LE, do one of the following:
  • To use Auto Input monitoring, select Operations-> Auto Input Monitor.
– or –
  • To use Input Only monitoring, select Operations-> Input Only Monitor.
To toggle between Auto Input and Input
Only monitoring, press Alt+K (Windows)
or Option+K (Macintosh).

OK. I may be mistaken since I have not tested this.

Try adding an Aux Track.
Choose the input as the physical input of the instrument that you want to hear.
Send the out put to a bus. then create an audio track and choose the input of the same bus.
Then you should be able to hear w/o record enabling.

If this gives you problems,
then you can create an aux track and choose the input as the input of your instrument.
THen create and audio track and choose the same instrument input.
Play along thru the Aux track and
when you want to reacord, record enabl the audio track but remember to mute the aux track.

I hope this was not so confusing.

I'm trying to record a drum track using Boom insert - Pro Tools 12.8.3. When I record enable the track, I can't hear it. If I go to the track to switch to Input-only monitoring, that option is grayed out!
